Warren,

Congratulations!  Any woman that would climb around 300 feet up on the
face of a cliff in that country is a good catch. Not many of those out
there.

Wishing the two of you the greatest happiness together.

Regards,

I'm an archaeologist, so I took her to an archaeological site in New Mexico that is located about 300 feet up on a cliff.  It took us about an hour to hike to the place.  I told her that I needed to reinvestigate a 1 X 1 meter unit that I had previously excavated in order to gather a bit more data for my dissertation.  While I had her out looking around for a spike to drive into the ground, I buried the ring.  When she returned, I gave her a little training, after which she began to help me excavate the unit.  When the little red leather box was uncovered, she was taken aback - "look, someone has lost something!"  Then she opened the box, saw the ring, and then it was something like "oh my God!, oh my God!"
